We can finally reveal the rumuors are true. The Dalai Lama will be appearing at the Glastonbury this weekend! The Dalai Lama will be giving a talk in the Green Fields at approximately 10.15am on Sunday 28 June to festival go-ers on the themes of compassion, non-violence and the oneness of humanity. The Glastonbury visit is part of a four-day UK trip by the Dalai Lama.

Tibet Society will be attending the festival on Sunday, to help promote the Tibetan cause for freedom and justice amongst festival go-ers. As well as our own stall in the Green Fields we will be distributing free infocards along with other UK-based Tibet organisations.

During his UK visit, the Dalai Lama will also be giving a public talk in Aldershot. At the time of writing there were still a few tickets left.

About Tibet House

Tibet Society is the world’s first ever Tibet support group. The Society was founded in 1959, within weeks of the flight of the Dalai Lama from Tibet following the uprising against China's occupation. Today, the organisation continues to work actively for the freedom of the Tibetan people and their right to self-determination.
